Add a new special environment variable "serial" that allows selection of serial device when CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTI is defined. This replaces the existing calls to serial_assign() from cmd_nvedit.c and iomux.c that were not doing anything.

Changes to this directly conflict with the environment callback series I sent out RFC (soon be be a real series). Can we hold off on this until that happens?

It's important to consider current implementation of CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTI though. This resides in common/serial.c and behaves as a multiplexer for serial ports.

These variables are managed by the IOMUX. This resides in common/iomux.c and manages all console input/output from U-Boot. For serial port, only one IOMUX is -- 1.7.10.4
